TOP ROLLOUTS DEISTER MACHINE CO., INC. ELECTROMECHANICAL VIBRATING FEEDER Deister Machine Co., Inc.'s Two-Mass Electromechanical Vibrating Feeder is the newest addition to its lineup of screening, scalping, and feeding equip- ment. The feeder is designed to allow greater control over high-capacity feed rates and productivity, while lowering costs per ton in aggregate operations. Units in the Deister EMF Series incorporate a high-profile infeed lip and a heavy-duty formed deck with replaceable liners. A simplified drive is de- signed with an easy-access exciter frame, which houses the single vibrator motor. Deister says the design results in higher bearing life and eliminates the need to replace belts.

Baldor-Reliance crusher duty motors are engineered for the demanding high-torque applications and harsh environments of the aggregate, cement, and mining indus- tries. The crusher-duty motor is available in frame sizes 180T to 449T and power range of 5 to 350 horsepower. The rugged cast-iron design minimizes vibration and bearing temperature. With higher breakdown and locked rotor torque performance, the manufacturer says Baldor-Reliance crusher-duty motors meet the demands of the toughest crushing applications.
